Olivia A. Arroyo, of Sherman Oaks, Studying Abroad Through St. Lawrence University

 Olivia A. Arroyo, of Sherman Oaks, is participating in St. Lawrence University's International Study Program for the fall 2013 semester. Arroyo, a member of the class of 2015 at St. Lawrence, is majoring in English. Arroyo graduated from Notre Dame High School.

Nearly 50 percent of St. Lawrence University's Class of 2013 studied off campus during their undergraduate careers, either in one of its 21 international study abroad programs or its domestic programs within the United States.

Located in Canton, N.Y., St. Lawrence University is a coeducational, private, independent liberal arts institution of about 2,400 students, founded in 1856. The educational opportunities at St. Lawrence inspire students and prepare them to be critical and creative thinkers, to find a compass for their lives and careers, and to pursue knowledge and understanding for the benefit of themselves, humanity and the planet. Through its focus on active engagement with ideas in and beyond the classroom, a St. Lawrence education leads students to make connections that transform lives and communities, from the local to the global.
